Claude Server MCP

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Project Status ⚠️

This project is in early development (v0.1.0) and is NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION USE. It is currently undergoing a significant rewrite to address several critical issues. Please check the Issues page for current limitations and planned improvements.

We recommend waiting for a stable release (v0.2.0+) before using this in any critical workflows.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides sophisticated context management capabilities for Claude, enabling persistent context across sessions, project-specific context organization, and conversation continuity.

Current Limitations

  • The server currently has compatibility issues with MCP clients other than Claude Desktop
  • Context listing functionality is limited without specific project IDs
  • Security features are minimal and not production-ready
  • Error handling is basic and may not provide helpful guidance
  • No testing infrastructure is in place

Development Roadmap

This project is actively being improved. Key upcoming enhancements include:

  1. Stability Improvements - Fixing core issues with home directory resolution and context listing
  2. Enhanced Error Handling - Better error messages and recovery mechanisms
  3. Security Enhancements - Input validation, path sanitization, and data protection
  4. Advanced Context Management - Versioning, search, and better organization

For a more detailed roadmap, see our Comprehensive Analysis branch.

    tags: ["meeting"]
  }
});

Context Retrieval

// Get context
use_mcp_tool({
